Lemongrass Oil
India Cymbopogon flexuosus

Description

Lemongrass is a tender perennial grass, which is native to India, but also cultivated in other tropical areas, particularly Brazil, Sri Lanka and parts of central Africa. After harvesting, grass is finely chopped to facilitate the extraction of the essential oil by steam distillation.

Lemongrass is widely used as a culinary herb in Asian cuisine and also as a medicinal herb in India. It has a subtle citrus flavor and can be dried and powdered, or used fresh. It is commonly used in teas, soups, and curries.

Cymbopogon flexuosus is a fast-growing and lemon-scented grass, which may reach a height of 1 m. It has unusual, dark-green foliage and also produces seeds.

Latest Market Information

Supplies continue to remain thin; thereby leading to expectations of a price rise in the early part of 2018. It seems parties involved with oil find it difficult to give a clear picture as to how volatile the market is.
